This is original.

Visuals are a great way to motivate.

Well done. I am sure, after this we shall see a car in squares, a student or a degree scroll in squares etc.

I enjoyed your post.

Would you mind sharing with us how you were able to make this drawing with the appropriate number of squares? I’d love to do the same thing for my house, but I’m not sure how you made this work!
Thanks!
